To prepare for studying String Theory, foundational knowledge in several advanced topics is essential. Key subjects include Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), and Quantum Field Theory (QFT), as they provide the necessary framework for understanding the principles of String Theory. Additionally, a strong grasp of mathematical concepts such as group theory, differential geometry, and topology is crucial. Engaging with these subjects step by step will build the required background to effectively explore String Theory. Seeking guidance from academic resources and mentors in the field can further facilitate this learning journey.

Hi,

I'm curious about What world it is, What happened to the initial world to become this state.

I'm student undergraduate and I got admission from plasma laser lab of graduate school.

But i want to learn about String-Theory. So i planed to learn relevant subject step by step.

But What subject i need to learn to be qualified to learn String Theory?

Shoud i learn all theory such as QED,QCD,QFT?

Is there other mathemetical subject we need to learn?

Please lead me into right direction!

Thank you for your help, World beginning explorer!

Thread 'Pre-req for Ultrafast Optics? (Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics?)'

TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
